Project Motivation

For this project, I was interested in exploring a few trends among developers, in the IT industry. The data is from StackOverflow's Developer Survey of 2019, which you can find here.

1. On an average, developers of what age groups earn the most in the industry?
2. What is the trend in average salaries when compared across organisations of different sizes?
3. Do Startups consist of significant percentage of senior developers or is it the youngsters that dominate? Which country contributes to most developers working in start ups.
4. How the the distribution among freelancers, when age group and country of residence is taken into account.
5. Do majority of developers wish to work remotely? What factors do you think majorly influence this decision?
